Todd Starnes Ignores Hate Crime Shooting At Jewish Centers

Todd Starnes is always quick to tweet about black on white crime and brawls involving black youth in order to advance the white, right wing, and Fox News narrative that white America is at the mercy of vicious gangs of marauding black thugs. And when a man carrying material from the Southern Poverty Law Center shot a guard at the headquarters for the hate group, the Family Research Council, Starnes didn't waste an opportunity to tweet about it. But being a good Christian and all, you would think that Starnes would be outraged about the recent shooting deaths of Christians, outside two Kansas Jewish community centers, allegedly perpetrated by a white supremacist whose views about the Jews are as vile as those of Starnes' culture warrior soul brotha,Jerry Boykin. Yet, not a word about it on his twitter feed which is full of righteous patriotic outrage over the so called "range war" which is a cause celebre for right wing militia types and Fox News.

Easy to understand why FNC will ignore this: the alleged shooter didn’t have a Mooslim name… and the intended victims were supposed to be Jews, probably those pesky liberal type of Jews who don’t worship Sheldon Adelson.

The shooter is a white supremacist that started branches of the neo-nazis and the “new klan.” He’s also a religious bigot, supporter of Ron Paul, a fan of Paul Ryan, and when he was asked about his dealings with the Tea Party, he said that he couldn’t care less about their politics, but he follows them closely because their rallies are prime recruitment ground.

I have a feeling Fox News is gonna say as little about this as possible, outside of the news blocks. Which are doing a lot of tip-toeing themselves. Tell you the truth, I can’t wait for Fox Nation to pick it’s spin, or for the defenders to start up here. I wanna see exactly how the tune changes.
